Chapter 2024 open and secret struggle

After hearing Zhang Hong's words, Sun Ce was deeply moved. Who said that middle-aged people are conservative and stubborn? Zhang Hong's performance is enough to prove that he is not only unconservative, but also more insightful. He may not have two thousand years of experience, but he keenly saw the meaning of it.

If he said that, he might not be able to speak more thoroughly than Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong was a little excited, his face turned slightly red, and he bowed to Sun Ce. "My deficiencies are guilty of death, death sentence."

Sun Ce sat upright and supported his hands with his hands. "Zhang Xiang's mind is sharp, his eyes are like lightning, and he cannot see what others see. This is the real Wang Zuo. I am very lucky to have Zhang Xiang's teachings."

Yu Fan and Guo Jia also bowed to Zhang Hong, feeling a little embarrassed. Xian Yu Cheng even left the table and bowed, and gave a big gift. Zhang Hong returned the gift one by one. With Zhang Hong's words, Yu Fan and Guo Jia were embarrassed to act irresistible and made suggestions in turn.

Yu Fan once again stated that as Zhang Hong said, he did not have regional opinions and watched the people of Yuzhou face the strong enemy alone, but set out from the overall situation and did not recommend that Sun Ce take charge of everything. Although the emperor and Yuan Tan came in a fierce manner, the soldiers they led were not necessarily stronger than those of Yuzhou and Jingzhou soldiers, and they might not be able to last. This is a good opportunity to train soldiers. Repelling the enemy can not only enhance morale, but also select a group of elite soldiers from them to prepare for a future counterattack.

After all, half of the world is only temporary, and sooner or later it will be unified in the future. Active attack requires more troops. The current central army and the nine governors alone are obviously not enough. If you don’t take this opportunity to select elite troops, when will you choose? Judging from the results of Man Chong’s battle against Dong Zhao, the local reserves recruited in Yuzhou can fully bear such responsibilities. At the end of this battle, Jing Yuqing and Xu selected 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops. With the existing troops, the attack may not be enough, and it is more than enough to wipe out Jizhou.

Guo Jia admitted that Zhang Hong and Yu Fan made sense. He would also find ways to take advantage of the differences between the emperor and Yuan Tan to restrain their actions as much as possible, but he still insisted on treating the cavalry carefully. Emperor and Yuan Tan all showed signs of treacherous bets. In order to survive, they were very likely to risk the world's worst. The most dangerous thing about cavalry entering the country was not the city, or even ordinary people, but the mobile forces led by Man Chong. Man Chong had only more than 10,000 people, and once the opportunity was captured by the cavalry, it was likely that the entire army would be wiped out. In this way, the role of training was no longer a problem. Yuzhou might fall into the dilemma of fighting each other because of the loss of the mobile forces that were dispatched and contacted in the center.

Therefore, even if the central army does not leave, some cavalry should be sent to Yuzhou to assist. After Liaodong, the dilemma of Jiangdong lacking war horses was alleviated. There were six or seven thousand cavalry gathered in various personal guards. The advantage of equipment was enough to make the emperor and Yuan Tan feel scruples and dare not easily send cavalry to go deeper. Taking a step back, this is also a good opportunity to train cavalry and cavalry generals.

From another perspective, the war horses are suitable for battle in three or five years. After pacifying Liaodong in the second year of Jian'an, the war horses sent to the Central Plains are now at the right time to fight. Even if they don't go into battle, they will no longer be the main force after the past two years. They can only retire and serve as Yima. Instead of wasting it in vain, it is better to go into battle, at least give the cavalry an opportunity to fight. In the future, whether it is to enter Guanzhong or Jizhou, or even to explore the four barbarians, cavalry is indispensable. It is inevitable to confront the You and Liang cavalry, and it is necessary to accumulate some experience in advance.

Sun Ce agreed deeply. As long as he put aside his selfishness, these people could always come up with the best plan. He asked Guo Jia to come up with the plan as soon as possible, and at the same time decided that Chen Dao would lead the cavalry to Runan first to assist Man Chong in the battle. Chen Dao was from Yuzhou, and he would participate in the war, which would help improve the martial spirit of the Yuzhou family. At the same time, he sent a letter to Zhou Yu and transferred Wen Chou to participate in the battle. After Zhou Yu entered the Wuling area, he mainly used the navy and infantry, and the cavalry could not be used. It would be a pity that Wen Chou would only serve as a guard of honor.

The basic plan was determined, Zhang Hong and others surrendered, and Sun Ce left behind Yu Fan and Xian Yu Cheng. He pointed to Shi Yan on the case and asked, "Zhongxiang, do you know about this?"

Yu Fan looked at Xian Yu Cheng and nodded. "It's clear. But I can't ask about this matter directly. I already know Gao Rou and ask him to investigate. There should be a result soon." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, I dared to guess that Xian Yu Duwei may not be clear about the whole truth."

Xian Yu Cheng said in anti-voice: "Please also ask Yu Xiang to correct me."

"How long has it been since the captain been home?"

"What does this have to do with whether I go home or not? Is it true that Yu Xiang said that someone from Xianyu's family is involved? If so, please ask Yu Xiangyilu to deal with it, Cheng Jue said nothing."

Yu Fan sneered: "You are the lonely and cold family in Xianyu, how can you be qualified to make a big splash in such a big business? However, if you ask those villagers who come to petition, they may be able to tell you who is most eager to make profits from it."

Xian Yu Cheng had a dark face and said nothing.

Yu Fan then briefly introduced the situation. She inkstones originated from She County, especially Longwei Mountain. They were not very famous. After all, there were few scholars in Danyang, and the cost of opening a mountain to obtain stones was also very high. It took a lot of effort to make one or two inkstones, and the cost was too high. In recent years, Sun Ce has developed culture and education, and has schools in counties and schools in every county. The number of scholars has increased sharply, and the demand for inkstones has increased dramatically. Taking stone inkstones has suddenly become a big business.

Conflict arises because of this.

Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, first to Wujun, and then to Kuaiji. Danyang, especially the southern part of Danyang, was the last to arrive. When Danyang promoted culture and education, Wujun and Kuaiji schools were built for a long time. Because scholars from both counties of Wuhui held their breath and wanted to suppress each other, the culture and education developed more rapidly. The need for stationery was not only inkstones, but also pens, inks, paper, etc. was far beyond Danyang. She inkstone became famous first because of the popularity of scholars in Kuaiji. There were many merchants in Kuaiji, and someone soon took advantage of the interests of She inkstone and found She County, where they built workshops, took stone inkstones, and then went down the Zhejiang River to transport them to Kuaiji.

The locals in Danyang were not clear about these things at that time and did not take them seriously. When the local culture and education in Danyang emerged, they realized that the Sheyan was profitable, but from the stone collection to the sales, they were controlled by Kuaiji merchants. However, some people came up with other solutions. Sending people to complain was just one of them. Before Xianyu Cheng, many people received similar requests to drive away Kuaiji merchants, but those people were not as straightforward as Xianyu Cheng, and came to see Sun Ce with a big stone. Because they all knew that in essence, the fault of this matter was not Kuaiji merchants, but the local tyrants in She County.

After Yu Fan finished speaking, he glanced at Xian Yu Cheng. "Is the person who came to find you a surname Jin or Mao? I can't guess these two surnames. The two families have had the most troubles recently. It is said that the Jin family named Jin Qi recruited Shan Yue and was preparing to seize it by force. However, the news leaked, and they were not prepared for it. They regarded the He family as their target. As a result, they were beaten and several died. "

Xian Yu Cheng's black face turned red.

When Sun Ce saw this, he knew that Yu Fan was not speaking, and Xian Yu Cheng Shiyou Jiu was used. But he was also very curious. "Zhongxiang, are you talking about the He family in Shanyin He family?"

Yu Qian nodded. "The He family first paid attention to the Sheyan business. Now the largest inkstone workshop in Shexian County is the He family. The He family is willing to spend money and work carefully. The Shexian they made has been a top-notch product that scholars have been sought after from the beginning. It is known as a gold inkstone, a piece of stone and a piece of gold. The inkstone used in the palace should be the He family's products."

Sun Ce was skeptical and asked someone to get a few squares of inkstones. Yu Fan easily found the mark of the He family inkstone workshop.

Yu Fan said to Xian Yu Cheng: "Prefer these inkstones to the inkstones of the Jin Family and Mao Family to see what the difference is. Isn't it that I'm saying that such a good inkstone is really a waste of making inkstones. Do you know that many people thought that their skills were too poor and went to ask the He family's craftsmen to redesign? They were also worried that they would not only get inkstones in the palace? Who would like to have their skills?"

Xian Yucheng was very embarrassed.

Sun Ce raised his hand to interrupt Yu Fan. Xian Yu Cheng did not have the eloquence of his, and he was in the wrong first. If he continued, Xian Yu Cheng would be embarrassed. He was also kind-hearted, but he was only used. Sun Ce took care of Xian Yu Cheng and asked him to go first.

"Zhongxiang, please forgive me if you want to forgive me."

"Here." Yu felt relieved and felt much better. "Master, I used to eat this salted fish, but today I have a rare opportunity. I have lost my composure for a while. Please forgive me."

"This is really not easy." Sun Ce smiled a few times, got back to the point, and asked Yu Fan about his opinion on the current situation. Zhang Hong and Guo Jia were present just now, and Yu Fan did not say it was happy.

Yu Feng pondered for a moment. "King, I think there are too many Ru Ying people in the Military Advisory Office. When they consider the plan, they will consciously or unconsciously have Ru Ying consciousness, including Guo Jijiu."

Sun Ce nodded. He also realized this, but this cannot be changed in a short period of time. He can only be more vigilant. Joining the army is not something that anyone can do, and it is definitely not something that can be done by reading the text and stats. It requires a certain intellectual foundation. To be precise, it requires knowing some theories, a certain historical experience, knowing past historical events, and a certain analytical ability. Ruying has a rich talent and more people are competent to join the army, accounting for more than half of the military advisors.

He also wanted to choose some people from Jiangdong, but there were too few who could do it.

"What's the best way for you?"

"I think it can be solved from two aspects: one is the quality of responsibility, and the other is to select officials from the army. Most of the children of generals have a foundation in knowledge, and officials in the army have practical experience. Combining the two, it is not difficult to produce a few talents in the future. Especially for the quality of responsibility, generals are leading troops outside and without quality of responsibility, which is not a long-term solution."

Sun Ce looked at Yu Fan for a while. He could hear Yu Fan's selfishness. Jiangdong's culture and education were not as good as the Central Plains, but his martial style was even more powerful. Many generals were generals. If he was conscripted, Jiangdong would occupy a lot of places. This was even more true in the army. Among the regular soldiers led by the Central Army and the Ninth Governor, Jiangdong would mainly select soldiers from them. Jiangdong would account for at least half of them. In this way, the number of troops participating in Jiangdong would increase sharply, and might even surpass the Ruying faction.

"This matter is very important, so you can't be too hasty."

"The king and wise, I also think so. You can advance some good seedlings and explore the depth."

"Do you have the right person?"
